As far as I've talked to people, 40-50 black stones seem to be okay amount to use to get green weapon from +14 to +15, if one isn't failstacking, hence I infer some 2% there. Yeah, I'm aware that this is not how statistics work, but :effort:. 10% is very generous even for pre-post-+15, in my opinion, given that half of post-50 goons have had 20-ish fails on pre-+14 items at one or another stage.

Also, never not failstack. Don't be superstitious video gamer, for the love of god.
Yeah, Yuria is green (white items are mostly random trash without any effects) weapon so it makes total sense, and should be desirable, to get it to +15 (or whatever you feel like is enough for you), and only then make and remake it into blue until you roll it yellow.

To expand a bit here, this is how a reasonably good cut of beef looks shortly prior to going onto the grill, same dish.

That's slightly more than 7 pounds of rib-eye steak after a night outside under compression in mineral water with oil and herbal spices. I had rather limited in supplies at a time, so these, and the other 7 pounds of it, were marinated in separate cake carriers.

PSA: Don't use beef for this kind of kebab unless you must (we had a guy allergic to pork). Pork is fine, buy lamb if you cook for Eonwe. If you want chicken, go to KFC and take nuggets or something.

Are the investment banking options different for each town's bank, or do the investment method/instruments change randomly? When do you start really snowballing on that passive silver generation with low-risk investments? 2-4M+?

As far as I can tell, Edan is the server and everything under it is basically a channel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I could see my characters in other subservers under the same server but not under a different top-level server

Yeah, it doesn't matter where you create the character, since you can change channels each 15 minutes.

Yo so if you talk to those worker guys out in fields? You know, the npcs that are workers who the game tells you "hey this guy can hook you up with some SKILLED motherfuckers?" Those guys? Yeah, you get yellow workers from them which seems good.

But they're the NPC. You hire THEM to help you out for beer. I think I'm gonna do this for all my workers now on, cause this feels much less exploitative.

You have to build up Amity for those and theyre not necessarily better than the ones you hire. I got the human hireable (giant descendant) for velia but both of the yellow humans I've gotten have been better. Supposedly you can't tier them up to orange, so that may be relevant.

Anyone else playing a sorc having problems with black wave? It only seems to work about 1 out of 3 times.

I press S+RMB and then hold LMB immediately after while still pressing S, it either works or just keeps casting Absolute Darkness.

It might be latency, I have a hard time with residual lightning not going off when I try to cast it.

I'm neither of your buddies, but I've played quite some L2 from 2006 to 2010. As a sidenote, the guilds are capped at 100 people and there are no alliances, which can make politics weird at a time. As far as PvP goes, main differences are in that territorial conquest (nodes; castles) is less important than in Lineage 2, players under 45 can't attack or be attacked by other players, and the karma/PK system is, in my opinion, worse (no autoflag for PvP (direct karma penalty instead), death doesn't affect negative karma, low PK tolerance) than that of Lineage 2. Territorial wars are fun nonetheless. Open world (anywhere outside cities basically) PvP is a bit trickier - if you have lots of wars with active guilds, then it's Lineage 2 down to your inner blyat with lovely wars killing your mobs in every of literally 10 viable endgame grinding spots. If you don't, or just want to repeatedly PK, then it's similar to L2 again, only grind back to normal karma can be slower, and you lose your enchantment levels, not items, on death with negative karma. You can flag for PvP but people here bait worse that people back in 2006 did, with their honourable forest 1v1 given the presence of camouflage suits in game. PvP in general, as far as getting stronger goes, is very similar to Lineage 2 - item dependant, so go farm spots and (partially) open world bosses, and sometimes craft. Dynamics, however, are a bit different - since there are no support classes, there's no poo poo like off-party support stack running in windows #2 to #5; since the trading is limited, you may have to craft alchemy/food (buffs) yourself. Early on HP pots rule, eventually gear eclipses any healing and it becomes a game until second hit, unless you're one of three tankier classes. There are no duels or arenas like L2 olympics, but there are arena areas for duelling (if this makes sense :v:). We might get proper duels, also a weird open world battleground system. Sieges each week, nodes and castles on separate days, guild owns either castle or bunch of nodes, sieges for either FFAs until last man standing, essentially.

There's also a location that feels painfully close to Dragon's Valley (other than being a forest I guess :v:). And some towns feel similar to Lineage 2 too, much like rest of the world in, albeit limited, some sense too. Also loving Hawks everywhere.
